Sorry, but though I'm sure we'd all like to be vegetarians our ancestors determined long ago what diet we should follow. To have to eat animal protein is the curse of our ancestors. I've pretty much been into biochemical individuality since the early 1970s when a naturopath hipped me to it.

Any opinions on this plan? Any votes on 5 vs. 10 vs. alternate suggestions? After we tackle the quantity issue, we'll tackle the more thorny quality issue. This is very healthy thinking. The only way to save FFL. In my opinion 5 posts per day is more than enough.
